Wrong forum, and 200+ post threads do cause server problems.
If they told you then they are lying to you. I run a few large forums some with over 1 million posts and some topics with over 1k posts. It's total [censored]. Prove the facts first. The truth is it helps get rid of negative posts like hey you guys fracked up with the PC version. Thankfully we can lock this at 200 posts and hope no one gets as much attention a second time.
It's not a software issue and nice try on the server issue lol.
